A small request

Post by Invasion »

Please add a new ship default behavior, that ignores the prices of all goods as well as the existence of stations the player doesn't own.

This simple new default behavior will allow players to set up their own internal supply chain. For example; transferring the medical supplies manufactured on one of your stations, and distributing it ONLY to your other stations that have workers creating demand for said medical supplies.

As a default behavior for a ship instead of a station assignment or station trade restriction, it will allow the station producing medical supplies to also be selling the stuff at a profit to other factions.

At the moment the only way to set up this supply chain is to have the manufacturing station restrict trade of all its wares to other factions. This means the supply potentially far exceeding the demand on the station being supplied, and not being able to sell the excess inventory for profit.

Players are eventually going to need such a function to link up their production chain across multiple stations. Especially if they want to be able to establish fully owned ship production once we get to make our own wharfs and shipyards, without having to wait decades for the building facility to receive everything needed from your other stations.

Agreed. Or at least a way to dedicate a ship to a route.
